I think that's AI.

It would be great if he could repeat last year's performance, which was one of the best drives I've ever seen.

I dunno. The more I see it, the more I think he's completely away with the fairies.

I think my son is now wishing he didn't have to go to work tonight.
Lethal for me too. I'm a map addict.

Picture of the gaudy gold excrescences attached to the door of the White House Oval Office, with the sign reading 'The Oval Office' evidently printed out on sheets of A4 stuck up with Blutak. And we've added another one reading 'No Gurlz'.

If it's any comfort, I actually rediscovered my love for baking when I was diagnosed (at 60 yrs). There are some great blogs/GF cooks out there. I'll be honest though, GF pastry is a pain in the arse to work with.

What the everloving fuck is this trash?

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

#MundaneHalloween

It's crazy over there this morning. All of these far right whack-a-dos absolutely losing their silly little minds. Truly awful.

Frankenstein?

I've always voted Green in EU elections and local ones.
Time to join the party, I think!

Maybe a bit of all three.

I'm getting £12k a year, state pension. That's poverty too.
But it's okay. I'm self-employed so I can work from home until the day I cark it.🙄

Fuck. That's horrifying.

You’re right, Mike, Americans are super free to speak their minds right now, which is why I’m currently coaching freshman football at my local high school

Oh, FFS. The kids in our village nursery school would do a better job.
We're all so fucked, aren't we?

Not possible.
It's earthquake central up there.

An Israeli Soccer Team’s Toxic Fan Base A club that once represented the downtrodden became an arm of the establishment before hooligan supporters quickly gained a reputation for violence

This isn't about anti-semitism, it's public safety.

If nothing else, writing would be cathartic for you. Even if it never leaves the first draft stage, even if you don't finish it, it's still getting words and feelings out there.

Go for it, lady.

Forbidden love

No thanks. I'll go with the Green Party, not another vehicle for Corbyn's ego.

This poll in The Times is still open.

You were very silly to send a freepost envelope along with it, Danny boy. I've had great fun with the letter. You'll be getting it back with my "edits" soon. ;)
